The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has launched a serious manhunt for Ivy Nyashano who is believed to have gone into hiding after being charged with unlawful detention and rape of seven juveniles.
It is alleged that the suspect went to Chikangwe Village in Karoi on May 13, 2022 where she persuaded and convinced seven female juveniles aged between 12 and 16 years to accompany her to Buffalo Downs in Karoi on the pretext that she was going to offer them employment as shops assistants.
However, according to a ZRP press statement, she took the victims to her residence in Zengeza 1, Chitungwiza in Harare
“On May 14, 2022, the suspect started giving the victims beer, family planning pills, among other tablets to drug them before forcing the victims to have sexual intercourse with different men whom she charged an undisclosed fee. This continued up until three of the victims escaped from the suspect’s home on May 24, 2022 and contacted their parents, who then sent them bus fares to return home and a police report was made,” wrote Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi.
The ZRP is appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of the suspect Ivy Nyashano whose further particulars are currently unknown
“Parents and guardians are urged to counsel children and ensure they are not enticed by criminal syndicates to run away from home through purported and false lucrative offers. Perpetrators of such offenses will have the full course of the law upon them. The public is advised to report such cases at any nearest police station, National Complaints desk on 0242 703631 or WhatsApp 0712 800197.”
